    This 3 question hazard identification process is used to determine if a pathogenic microorganism presents a risk and should be added to a final list for risk profiling. It first establishes if the pathogen is present in raw materials and if the production process can eliminate it. If not eliminated, it determines if the pathogen can contaminate the final product and if it has caused issues with similar products in the past. The pathogen is added to the final risk list if it is toxigenic or can grow in the product.

    (YES /
    NO)
    1. Is the pathogenic micro-organism present in raw materials?

    If YES proceed to Question 2 If NO Eliminate Organism from List

    2. Will the production process eliminate micro-organism


    completely?

    If YES Eliminate Organism from List If NO proceed to Question 3


    and proceed to Question 3

    3. Can this pathogenic micro-organism contaminate the product


    after processing/production?

    If YES proceed to Question 4 If NO Eliminate Organism from List


    and proceed to Question 4

    4. Has this micro-organism caused problems in the past with


    identical or related products? (Literature Review)

    If YES proceed to Question 5 If NO Eliminate Organism from List

    5. Is the pathogen an UNFECTIOUS or TOXINOGENIC organism?

    If TOXINOGENIC proceed to Question 6. If INFECTIOUS it is a Potentially Hazardous Micro-


    organism
